22、 Celebrated each September 19, International Talk Like A Pirate Day (ITLAPD) may sound a bit like a joke. And, well, that’s because it partly is. Started by a group of people just wanting to have a laugh, it’s a holiday that exists for the purpose of having fun by going around yelling “drink up me hearties” and “curse ye, ye landlubber.” But what’s the real deal behind talking like a pirate?
Like any great holiday, ITLAPD has a strange story. This one doesn’t go back to the Golden Age of Piracy in the 17th century, but instead to the year of 1995. Friends John and Mark were playing racquetball on a summer day and decided to start yelling things at each other using “pirate slang.” This was your usual “avast” and “ahoy” and, of course, “arrrr!”. John and Mark had so much fun and they decided to make it an informal holiday among themselves and the people they knew. Mark chose September 19 because it was his ex-wife’s birthday (yeah, it’s strange).
In any case, for the first few years, nothing much came of it. Then, in 2002, John and Mark decided to expand the holiday by reaching out to humorist Dave Barry, whose column was issued around the country. Barry wrote about the holiday and became the spokesperson, and it launched the entirely unknown celebration into a larger world. The timing of the holiday’s announcement may have contributed to its popularity. Just one year later, the first Pirates of the Caribbean film was released, which launched pirates back into the cultural conversation. Pirates also became a massive symbol of early internet culture. If you’re “pirating” something today, it more often refers to downloading something illegally than attacking someone else’s ship.
【1】Why did people start the International Talk Like A Pirate Day?
A．To have fun.
B．To act as pirates.
C．To laugh at people around.
D．To play jokes on each other.
【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．The pirate slang.
B．The history of the piracy.
C．The fun of playing racquetball.
D．The origin history of ITLAPD.
【3】What can we learn about ITLAPD?
A．It hit the world immediately.
B．It was launched officially in 2002.
C．Pirates of the Caribbean helped spread it.
D．It is a symbol of illegal internet culture.
【4】In which column of a website may this text appear?
A．Science.
B．Culture.
C．Sport.
D．Advertisement.
